Summary: This volume is devoted to the rapidly growing field of scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM). Originally developed by G. Binning, H. Rohrer and their coworkers at the IBM Research Institute R(uuml)schlikon, Switzerland, for applications in surface physics, the method is becoming interesting for other disciplines as well, e.g. materials sciences, biology, chemistry, and chemical physics, electrical engi...neering, etc. The papers collected in this volume cover the theory of STM, instrumental problems and important applications in the physics of clean and metal-covered semiconductors, clean metal, alloy and other compound surfces, adsorption on metals, electrochemicalprocesses and biological applications.[read more]
